Mirror Band Contact Case

ABSTRACT

The Mirror Band Contact Case equips its user with a improved upon contact lens case. Typical cases consist of two parts: the caps and the base, that of which the caps apply onto. By accessorizing the contact lens case, with features such as a removable mirror and light, we now enter a new market offering solutions to a frustrated community that at times need to adjust their eyewear.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.62/492,177 filed Apr. 29, 2017 in the United States of America.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The sole focus of this document is to formally submit Mirror BandContact Case. The prior art, or product currently in market, is notsuited for all conditions that many experience with their contactlenses. Contact lens cases have not changed much through the years, andwe still use the basic design of the case even though we do most of ouractivities with our contacts in. Incorporating the Mirror Band ContactCase gives off a new applicable use for environments that otherwisecould not be explored with the benefits. Whether you are removing yourcontacts to sleep for a plane ride, or hiking a mountain and havingdebris disrupt your vision; using the new contact lens case design canassist in many needed ways.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Mirror Band Contact Case is a product designed to assist and enhance ausers experience, with the removal and input of contact lenses.Primarily contact lens cases contain 2 parts, a base for solution and acap to secure the contents. The product described herein incorporates amirror attachment, and lighting mechanism in addition to magnets thatconnect and accessorize the contact lens cap to the contact lens base.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

Essentially there are three unique sections defining the components ofthis contact case. The contact case cap 5, the accessories that restupon the cap, and the contact case base 4. The first drawing, view 1,depicts a plan view of the components that rest upon the caps structure.View 1 presents a mirror as 1, and a transparent ring as 2. Thetransparent ring tightly encases the surrounding mirror, and essentiallyilluminates the mirror as light passes through.

In the second plan view, 2, the contact lens case is presented in acomplete state where the base 4 securely rests beneath the contact lenscap. Although only the mirror 1, and transparent ring 2 are visible, youare reminded that these pieces are structured upon the cap 5.

View 3 presents the caps design from beneath, again from a plan view. Inthis view, 1 is the non reflective or underside of the mirror, and 2still remains the transparent ring. Now visible is the magnet, 3, whichis used to attach the accessories to the contact lens cap 5. Thelighting structure and components can now be seen as well, the battery6, light bulb 7, 8 and 11 wiring, light switch 9 with 10 being thelights on and off trigger button.

In the 4^(th) view, this front elevation view is another format of theproducts resting state. If needed, revisiting the 2^(nd) view willreassure you of the product in a completed state from a plan view. Thecomponents: mirror 1, although not seen from this angle restshorizontally within the transparent ring 2. The top magnet 3 and bottommagnet 12 appear in a fastened position as the two pieces come intocontact. Additionally in this view, the cap 5 and components can be seensecured to the base 4 of the contact lens case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The product begins with the attachment of magnets, with each having anadhesive end. To replicate the build, stick one magnet 12 to the outsideof the contact lens cap 5. Attach the second magnet 3 to thenon-reflective side of the mirror.

The following step incorporates a transparent ring 2 and it isimperative the mirror 1 is slid only ¼ of the way into the hollowedtransparent ring 2, so that the remaining depth of the ring can be usedto contain additional parts. Again the mirror can be fastened with anadhesive strip, glue, or any feature comparable.

A light bulb 7, along with wiring 8 and 11, battery 6, and switch 9 isprimarily placed in the remaining space between the magnet 3 and thetransparent ring. All of the mentioned components are attached withelectric tape. To register the light, begin by soldering the wire 8 toone of the switches 9 metal plates. Bring this wire to the light bulbs 7stem or trunk, wrap the stem tightly or solder if needed, and continuewith the wire to the negative end of the battery 6 where it is thenconnected with electric tape. From this point begin with wire 11; attachthe wire to the positive end of the battery, and then bring the wire tothe remaining switch 9 bases. Solder the wire to the base, and this willcomplete the circuit.

Presented as three pieces, but coming together as one contact lens case;the cap 5 now acting as an accessorized piece, with the capabilities ofconnecting to the contact lens base 4 with the features of thisinvention should have been observed. In addition, essentially thetransparent ring illuminates the mirror, when turning on and off thelight as noted by the trigger 10.

It is claimed that the Mirror Band Contact Case to be a contact lenscase defined as: 1) A contact lens case typically consisting of a lidand container, in which one would use to store traditionally theircontact lenses and solution. 2) A contact lens case using a mirror, andlight, located on the contact lens cap although these contents may beapplied to other areas of the case. 3) A contact lens case consisting ofa mirror and accessories capable of being fastened, unfastened, or both.
